A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a proven and popular cosmetic procedure for rejuvenating the lower face and neck by tightening sagging skin and redefining facial contours.
At Dr. Akbari Clinic, with expert surgeons Dr. Saman Tahmasbi and Dr. Mehdi Ahmadi, we offer both surgical and non-surgical facelift procedures in Tehran (Farmanieh district) and Istanbul—providing international standards of care with local expertise.
Understanding Facial Aging: A Zone-Based Approach
The face is often divided into three zones:
-
Upper third: eyes, eyebrows, and forehead
-
Middle third: cheeks and midface
-
Lower third: jawline, chin, and neck
A facelift primarily targets the lower third of the face. For full-face rejuvenation, additional treatments like brow lift or midface lift may be recommended.
Types of Facelift and Neck Lift
We offer both non-surgical and surgical facelift techniques at Golden Rose Clinic:
Non-Surgical Thread Lift
Using medical-grade threads, the skin is lifted without surgery:
-
Threads are placed under the skin using a fine needle
-
Local anesthesia is used
-
Recovery is fast and results last 1–3 years
Perfect for those seeking a quick refresh with minimal downtime.
Surgical Facelift and Neck Lift
Performed by Dr. Saman Tahmasbi and Dr. Mehdi Ahmadi, the surgical method offers long-lasting, dramatic results:
-
Incisions are made around the ears and hairline
-
Excess skin and fat are removed
-
Underlying tissues are repositioned
-
Performed under local or general anesthesia
Available at both our Tehran (Farmanieh) and Istanbul branches.
